Please review this change to use C++17 for building C++ parts of the JDK. In
particular this affects HotSpot. This change also includes an update to the
HotSpot Style Guide regarding C++17 features and their use in HotSpot code.
Testing: mach5 tier1-8
This change includes a modification of the Style Guide. Rough consensus among
the HotSpot Group members is required to make such a change. Only Group
members should vote for approval (via the github PR), though reasoned
objections or comments from anyone will be considered. A decision on this
proposal will not be made before Friday 5-September-2025 at 12h00 UTC.
Since we're piggybacking on github PRs here, please use the PR review process
to approve (click on Review Changes > Approve), rather than sending a "vote:
yes" email reply that would be normal for a CFV.
